[edit] Early life
A graduate of Vivian Gaither High School in Tampa, Kesse attended the University of Central Florida in Orlando, graduating in 2003 with a degree in finance. She was a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority; her former sorority sisters have led many searches to find Kesse.
[edit] Disappearance
Orlando police have released few clues publicly in the case, but have photos of a "person of interest" with whom they would like to speak. The person is seen in frames from a security video, taken the day Kesse was reported missing, at the condominium complex where Kesse's car was found. The FBI was called in to help determine the person's size and gender, but could only say the person was someone who was about 5-foot-3 to 5-foot-5.
Police also said at a February 21 news conference that they believe someone other than Kesse drove her car to the complex where it was found. They have not called the "person of interest" a suspect, but only say he or she is someone who was in the area when the car was dropped off. A $15,000 reward for information remains available through Central Florida Crimeline. The case received state and national press attention at the time of her disappearance, but, although Jennifer Kesse is still considered missing and endangered by Orlando Police, FBI, Orange County, Florida Police, FDLE, NCIC, and NCMA, the search was officially called off on April 15, 2010. Full details can be found at FindJenniferKesse.com.
As of June 10, 2010, the FBI has taken over the case of Jennifer Kesse from the Orlando Police Department at the urging of police chief Val Demings.
On Friday, May 2, 2008, The Florida House of Representatives unanimously passed Senate Bill 502 - "The Jennifer Kesse and Tiffany Sessions Missing Persons Act".
